Some daring break and enters in the city's south side.

Police report that in two incidents thieves unsuccessfully tried to steal a couple of safes.

In the first case over the weekend at a South Syndicate Ave office, the safe had simply been moved, but a day later, when police responded to a break in at Victoriaville Mall, a safe was found suspended in a skylight area of the ceiling by metal fencing.

Police did not say whether the two incidents are related.
